The court has delivered a judgement in the class action
On 28 October 2026, the court rendered its ruling in the class action against the Energy Suppliers. This ruling follows the hearing that took place on 15 September 2026.
As previously explained, the Energy Suppliers raised procedural objections, such as the lack of jurisdiction of the Amsterdam District Court. The Amsterdam District Court has now ruled that the Energy Suppliers’ objections cannot be followed. The Amsterdam District Court has jurisdiction to hear the case in its entirety. The request of the Energy Suppliers to separate the cases brought by Stichting Consumer Justice and the other two consumer organisations has therefore also been rejected.
The Amsterdam District Court has stayed the class action pending the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Vattenfall appeal proceedings. As previously announced, this ruling is now scheduled for 4 December 2026. All parties to the collective action will have the opportunity to respond to the Supreme Court’s ruling by 23 December 2026 at the latest.
